Journey Through Existence: the Way of Worldly Love

Preface I explicitly do not affirm the truth of any statement made or impliedherein concerning any actual people, including myself; or any actualrelationships, including my own; or any concrete situations depicted.Everything I have written is either about or based upon my perceptions,memories, imagining, suppositions, assessments of poetic and dramaticappropriateness, and the like, all such, qua sources of factual truth, beingnotoriously fallible. The only truth that I do affirm herein is that of theuniversals that can be abstracted from the particulars of my subjectiveexperience, the universalscall them poetic truthswhereby myaudience can better understand and perfect themselves as I, hopefully,have been able to do for myself in the living and subsequent describingof all that follows. If anything I have written happens to occasion anypeople pain, I express in anticipation my deepest compassion; suchpeople must know, however, that I would not have written as I have ifI did not suppose that I would thereby have caused, in potentiality, fargreater good than harm.Bear Valley SpringsAugust, 2011
